Herb Peterson, inventor of the now iconic Egg McMuffin, has died. He was 89.

Despite working in McDonald's advertising agency, Peterson must have been some kind of freaky genius of tastiness. I defy anyone to find anything better for a hangover than an Egg McMuffin, short of more alcohol.

Thank you, Mr. Peterson. You done good.

In related news, the inventor of the McGriddle is still being sought by Interpol. Turns out, making something that tasty that bad for you violates several articles of the Geneva Convention.
